Preparation

Grilling Method: Indirect/Medium-Low Heat

Sprinkle brisket liberally with the rub of your choice.

Set-up grill for indirect cooking and place smoker box in gas grill if using. If using a charcoal grill, pour beer into a drip pan and place the drip pan on the charcoal grate between the two piles of charcoal. If using a gas grill, pour the beer into a small drip pan and put on the far-left corner of the cooking grates. (The beer is in the pan to add moisture to the cooking environment while the meat smokes. This is a good idea anytime you smoke-cook foods for a long period of time because smoke reduces the moisture in the air.)

Place wood chips that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes directly on the gray-ashed charcoal, if using a charcoal grill, or in the smoker box if using a gas grill.

Place brisket (fat side up) in center of the cooking grate over the drip pan. You will not turn the brisket during the cooking time at all. Grill 5 to 7 hours or until meat thermometer registers 180°F. When done, remove brisket from grill and let rest 20 minutes. Slice thin and serve immediately with pickled okra and sliced white bread.

It sounds delicious but is definitely not kosher for Passover as suggested since the use of beer is prohibited

This was so EASY. i did the rub which was good but the best part was the fact that there is very little prep work for this recipe. I read the other reviewer who did the 8 hour cook. I put in the foil which i then placed in my dutch oven. I left it about 8 hours at 225 and when i came home it was done and so tender. i used some previously made barbeque sauce and it was really good with supereasy cleanup. next time i might try different spices and would a little more sugar to make it just a touch sweet.

If you get it off
the original
website, this is a
delicious recipe.
The best part is the
"Hill Country Rub,"
which is omitted
here. I've also
cooked this in a
crockpot on low for
5+ hours with a cup
of beer, with
wonderful results.
